how astronauts live in space stations is very different from how we live. the simple activities we do here on earth seemed like a challenge on their case.
I want to ask you something, do you think you can handle Astronaut Hygiene? Do you think it’s something you can do for long term or is it something you will found gross? Basically astronauts can’t have a shower, so they clean up their selves with wet towels and anti-bacterial wet wipes.
Then this video is how they use the toilet:
Don’t worry that video doesn't show anything gross; they just explain how to do they used the space toilet.
One more thing, they seemed to be not allowed to spit, so they swallow the toothpaste and mouthwash after brushing their teeth.
Is this something you can handle for at least a week?

So you can see that actually it is not easy to be an astronaut. I must say that I can't stand it. Perhaps it is fine with me that I can't take a bath in the spaceship. However, I really feel sick how I use the toilet in the spaceship. And I also feel terrible if I have to swallow the toothpaste. What else?

its so refreshing to have a shower but sadly they cant have that due to lack of gravity,Unless they will develop a spaceship with artificial gravity, then they can finally have a much better hygiene habits. I cant imagine gleaning my self with baby wipes. Their toilet habit for sure is indeed icky.

It would certainly be difficult, indeed. But I think having the experience would be out of this world! Excuse the pun!
